Dräger Savina

Operation
44
At high ambient temperature
In ambient temperatures over 35
o
C Savina displays an
advisory message:
! Temperature high
To prevent the breathing gas becoming too hot, Savina reduces
the maximum speed of the built-in blower as the ambient
temperature rises. If high inspiratory pressures are set at the
same time, e.g. over 80 mbar, the result may be that high flows,
e.g. 180 L/min, can no longer be achieved.
Even at slower speeds, the breathing gas delivered by the
blower is warmed. To ensure that the breathing gas
temperature at the Y-piece remains under 41
o
C, an inspiratory
hose length of not less than 1.1 m should be maintained as a
cooling section.
If the temperature sensor built into Savina reaches over 40
o
C,
an alarm will be activated
!!! Temperature high
If an operational temperature sensor
*
is used in the Y-piece,
Savina will warn of breathing gas temperatures of 40
o
C or
higher by activating the alarm
!!! Breathing gas temp. high
In both cases, Savina continues ventilating the patient.
● Lower the ambient temperature.
In the event of a power supply failure
If all external and internal power sources fail, an intermittent
audible alarm sounds.
● Either immediately reconnect power supply
or
● Disconnect patient and continue ventilating using an
independent ventilator.
In the event of a gas failure
In normal operating mode, Savina uses ambient air to ventilate
the patient with the aid of a blower and O2 from the medical gas
pipeline system or from an O2 cylinder.
In the event of O2 failure
Savina replaces the missing proportion of O
2 with ambient air
and generates an alarm.
The minute volume remains constant.
The inspiratory O
2 concentration FiO2 drops to 21 Vol.%.
